Captured By The Cold Detective (BL)-Chapter 155: I Have To

Jia Molei’s vast network made it easy for him to find the omega’s phone number and he had stored it into his phone in case he would need it in the future. But he did not remember ever giving Mu Yuze his number! Just where did he... well, it was not important right now.

Jia Molei heaved out a sigh and gestured for Er Meilin to hand him the phone.

He could only guess why Mu Yuze would resort to calling him when they did not get along very well to begin with. Perhaps the omega saw that He Juan did not reply to his messages and got worried – as He Juan’s phone had been lost somewhere on the mountainous hill, or perhaps this was just the telepathy between a soon-to-be-bonded Alpha and Omega pair.

Whatever it was, Jia Molei felt his heart sinking to the pit of his stomach. He really disliked being the one to deliver the bad news. But did he have any other choice here? He could not just ask Er Meilin to answer the phone for him...

He glanced at the monitor and saw that Su Xieren was inching closer to He Juan while maintaining a wary stance. He did not doubt Su Xieren’s capability. After all, he had seen it with his own eyes when this Beta pummeled He Juan to the ground seven years ago.

He gestured for Doctor Tang to keep an eye on the situation before walking out of the monitor room. He picked up the call. "...Hello?"

There was the sound of ragged breathing, followed by a raspy voice, "...Yuyang Hospital Center?"

That question did not have any context whatsoever, but Jia Molei immediately understood it. He let out a faint groan. "Just how the hell did you– wait, forget it. Don’t come here, do you hear me?!"

It was not like Jia Molei wanted to separate the lovebirds, but at the moment, He Juan was completely out of control! Even Alphas and Betas would find it hard to bear to be near him, let alone an Omega! Jia Molei could practically imagine what kind of tragic state the omega would end up in once he was exposed to He Juan’s violent pheromones. Despite his rough exterior, Jia Molei still had the common sense to keep Mu Yuze out of danger on behalf of his friend. Otherwise if He Juan woke up later and found that his omega had been harmed because of his own pheromones, then... oh fuck, he did not even dare to imagine how He Juan would react!

Unfortunately, Mu Yuze did not understand his concern at all, his frosty voice was tinged with steel-like determination. "I’ve almost arrived at the hospital."

"Fuck!" The curse slipped out of his mouth. He was already losing a chunk of his hair due to He Juan’s condition here. He did not need another person to add on the burden! Pacing back and forth on the hallway, he took a deep breath and tried to relay the news in the gentlest way, "He Juan, he... he can’t see you right now, okay? It’s no use even if you come here! I will inform you as soon as he wakes up, how about it?"

There was a few seconds pause from the other side, then Mu Yuze said, "I’m in the hospital now." Jia Molei could faintly hear the familiar announcement for the queuing patients in the lobby and knew that Mu Yuze was really telling the truth. He had really arrived at Yuyang Hospital Center!

Jia Molei was so angry that his vision turned dark for a second. "You... damn it, listen to me!"

"No," Mu Yuze’s answer came in a heartbeat. His voice sounded dull and hollow, but if Jia Molei listened closer, he would be able to sense a slight tremble to his tone. "I want to see him. I have to."

"You...!" Jia Molei was choked speechless. In the end, he could only grit his teeth and bite the bullet. "Wait for me right there! I will go to you right now! Don’t run around as you please, brat...!" Without waiting for the other side to respond, Jia Molei promptly hung up on the call. His chest felt so stifled as if there was a huge boulder pressing down on it. In a fit of anger, he slammed his fist on the wall beside him, his breathing heavy. He spat out a curse through gnashed teeth. "Goddamnit! One by one... they’re really going to drive me crazy!"

Even though he said that, he still hurriedly rushed to the elevator and pressed the button to the first floor. Fortunately, the hospital at wee hours in the morning was quite desolate and hence, he was able to get to Mu Yuze in less than three minutes. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

He saw Mu Yuze as soon as he walked out of the elevator. The omega was standing in front of the receptionist counter as he stared at the phone in his hand with a dazed look. Despite the distance between them, Jia Molei could still sense the gloom and desolation emanating from him. He looked very pitiful, just like a child who had lost his parents in the middle of the crowd...

Jia Molei paused in his steps and cursed himself for being so soft-hearted. Grumbling under his breath, he approached Mu Yuze and called out to him, "Brat."

Mu Yuze snapped out of his trance and swiveled around. "How about—" He had just wanted to ask about Juan-gege when he finally took in Jia Molei’s appearance for the first time.

He looked so messy and haggard that it was shocking to see. Not to mention... Mu Yuze’s gaze dropped to his chest and saw the blood-stained bandage. His pupils trembled as intense terror came crashing down on him. If... If Jia Molei, who could still run around with wind beneath his feet, was in such an awful state, then... what about Juan-gege? Mu Yuze desperately wanted to ask, but he found himself unable to utter even a word. His throat was choked up and his palms were clammy with cold sweat.

Jia Molei noticed Mu Yuze’s line of sight and guessed what the omega was thinking about. He waved his hand casually. "Skin wounds, they look more horrible than they actually are. Follow me." He turned to the elevator again with Mu Yuze trailing behind him in a soulless state.

As the elevator ascended, Jia Molei told him in a low voice, "I will give you a warning firsthand. He Juan... he has been affected by something and his pheromones are currently out of control. For fuck’s sake, I can’t bring you to him in case he will tear you apart. So spare me the headache and just stay behind obediently, ’kay?"

Jia Molei intended to bring Mu Yuze to the monitor room first. Although that area was within the range of the special ward, the pheromones would not be able to travel out there so Mu Yuze should be safe. He only needed to bear the low pressure in the air, but Mu Yuze was a police officer and he had often heard He Juan boast of how domineering this omega was, so it should not pose a problem, right?

However, he did not expect that a huge surprise would await them once the elevator door opened.

Jia Molei had not even taken one step outside yet when a thunderous roar reverberated in the air. It did not even sound quite like a human anymore. The roar was guttural, raw and filled with gut-wrenching rage and agony. So loud that it seemed to shake the ground they were standing on. Jia Molei’s eyes snapped to the direction of the voice, shocked.

That was... Old Juan?!

Fuck! He had only stepped away for a few minutes. What the hell was going on?!
